"This is my SOUTH WEST DK YARN: local, natural + ethical!
I strive to create a product that is working in harmony with and benefiting both the EARTH and the COMMUNITY! This yarn feels wonderfully soft and woolly and is most versatile! You can knit any garment you fancy out of it (except maybe socks, I’d recommend something stronger for that)! It’s completely natural, no nasty chemicals, no plastics, just quality British wool and plant colour!" - Alice of Wool Matters Fibre Co.

ORIGIN + PROCESS:
The wool for this yarn comes from sheep in Devon (United Kingdom), is then spun in Devon by a small family run mill and dyed naturally in North Somerset by me with plants that are foraged (like oak bark, walnut husks or alder cones) and home grown (like Dahlias, Sunflower seeds or Marigolds) or rescued from food waste (like Onion skins or Avocado skins + stones), with some purchased natural dyestuff (like dried Madder root or Brazil wood chips) in the mix. I try to minimise the impact of the dyeing process on the earth by cold dyeing when I can to save energy, by not using any harmful chemicals and by foraging with respect and only taking what I need.

CARE:
Carefully wash your creations made with this yarn with wool wash and by hand in lukewarm water. Lay flat to dry and avoid direct sunlight, as the colours are light sensitive.
I rinse all my yarn carefully but a small amount of colour might still bleed out when washing, which is completely normal.
I recommend to always alternate skeins when knitting, as slight colour differences can occur even from skeins coming from the same dye pot. Embrace nature!
